Hello everyone, im having some difficulties finding the right choice for me, I hope you guys can help me here.
In about 3 or 4 months im going to get a new F@H build and this time I decided to go for a Xeon/Opteron CPUs, but im having a problem finding the exact PPD for each CPU, that's why I don't know what's better to buy.
I don't know if there is a trusted website that shows the right PPD for every CPU out there? that would be very helpful.
Anyway let's move along, what's the best build I can get for around $2200, also is Intel Xeon the right choice for me or is AMD Opteron better for folding?
PLEASE NOTE that im already suffering from the heat my 5 computers are generating right now, so if there is a "one" Xeon CPU that gives me the same PPD as a 2P Opteron build for the same price, in this case im going to go for a one Xeon because I don't need more heat from another CPU if it's giving me the same PPD.
I was thinking of getting a LGA2011 CPU with the Asus Z9PE-D8 WS because im also thinking of filling the board with 4 GTS450s or maybe GTX550 Ti or a mid-range GPU from the new 600 series when they're released.
What do you guys think of dual Xeons E5-2620? that's a 2.0GHZ CPU with 6 cores and HT technology, it's $420 each and that means:
- Asus Z9PE-D8 WS LGA2011: about $600
- Dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 2.0GHz Six-Core HT: $840
- 4 GPUs (maybe GTS450s) for about $120 each.
and that's all going to be around $1920 without the other compononts (PSU, RAM, etc..) I think this is a great build, don't you think?
How much PPD would I get from this build? using the -bigadv projects of course (on Windows 7). Instead of the Xeon E5-2620, I can get the E5-2630 2.3GHz for about $400 more if it's worth the money.
Help me out guys, all opinions are appreciated!
I forgot to ask, is it necessary to overclock the CPUs?
Because I don't know much about overclocking a Xeon CPU and I certainly don't know anything about overclocking AMD CPUs.
